Damian Morgan & Mike Doyle live at The Globe, Glossop, Saturday May 10th 2008.
Broadbottom/Stockport based Damian Morgan & Mike Doyle follow their well received Pronoia Records debut album ‘Saturation Point’ with the confirmation of a headline show at The Globe, Glossop on SATURDAY MAY 10th.
The duo will be joined by singer-songwriter singer songwriter Vinny Peculiar
Vinny Peculiar, famously christened the ‘Tony Hancock of pop’ by UNCUT MAGAZINE, is the pseudonym of Alan Wilkes; a Manchester based performance poet and songwriter whose bands have vicariously included members of the Smiths, the Fall and OASIS. His 7th studio album ‘Goodbye My Angry Friend’ was released in October 2007 on Pronoia Records.
Completing the line-up will be up and coming Glossop guitarist, 18-year-old George Fell, who first picked up a guitar aged 11, having been captivated by the music in the Coen Brothers film "O Brother Where Art Thou"
Damian Morgan & Mike Doyle were half of late-nineties indie band Saturated. They lost touch after the band split up but were reunited in 2006. After some tentative writing sessions and selected low-key gigs around Manchester, they realised that they were creating something special and the result was the ‘Saturation Point’ album.
The duo released the single ‘The Dimming of the Light’ towards the end of 2007. With all profits from the track going to the Alzheimer’s Society, the single also earned the praise of the Doves and former Smiths sticks man Mike Joyce. Since then, they’ve been invited by Mercury Records to contribute songs to an album project by leading French pop star Nolwenn Leroy. The lads are in good company as Guy Chambers (best known for his collaborations with Robbie Williams) is also contributing to the project. Currently working with ex Smiths/Aztec Camera guitarist Craig Gannon, an accomplished arranger for TV and film, the duo are writing and recording their next album, with their second single ‘This Isn’t 1988’ due for release in the summer.
